Anne Waller of Beconsfield, county Bucks, widow. Will 8 November 1652; proved 2nd August 1653. I desire to be buried in the churchyard of Beconsfield, as near unto my dear and loving husband as may be. I give unto the poor of Beconsfield £10 to be distributed unto them at the time of my burial. To my daughter Mary, wife of Edmond Waller, esquire, my son, my coach and two coach horses. To Cicelie Tompkins, my daughter, £100. To my daughter Ursula Dobbins, £100, to be placed in the hands of the said Edmond Waller, who shall pay her the interest and increase thereof, and pay the principal to such persons as the said Ursula by her will shall direct. But my meaning is that she shall have the sole benefit and dispose thereof, in such sort as her now husband may not have anything to do therewith. To my grandchild Robert Waller, the messuage or inn in Beconsfield called the Ball, and all the lands and tenements which I bought of my cousin Edmond Waller of Gregoryes, esquire. To my grandchildren Robert and Anna Mary Waller, my two great diamond rings; the said Robert shall have which of them he chooseth, his sister the other. To my grandchild Margo Waller, one of the daughters of my said son Edmond £100 within one year after my decease, if she then be 14 years old, or else to her father to be by him employed to her use till she attain her age of 14. To my said son Edmond, all my linen, household stuff, furniture and implements of household whatsoever. To every one of my servants dwelling with me at the time of my decease, half a year's wages over and above what may be due to them. All the rest of my goods I give to my grandchildren Robert and Anna Mary, equally, between them; and I make my friend Mr. George Gosnould my executor, to whom I give £20 for his pains and care to be taken therein, further authorizing him to reimburse himself all such sums as he may spend by reason of taking upon him the execution of this my will. I give to my grandchild Edmond Patty, esq., £5. To Sir Orlando Bridgman's lady, £3 to buy her a ring. Whereas there is due to me £1100 and upwards from my son Edmond Waller, my will is that all my debts, legacies and funeral expenses shall be paid out of that money, and the residue thereof paid to the said Robert and Anna Mary equally between them, (signed) Anne Waller. Witnesses: Edw. Ermiston, Henry Axtill, the mark of Thomas Sagwell, George Randall and Steven Grove. Proved by Gosnold, gent., the executor named.
